Volvo Group UK Limited has announced a recall for specific models of their commercial vehicles due to various safety concerns. One issue involves the FHE, FME, and FMLE models, where screws for the front axle attachment may lose torque or come loose, potentially leading to steering problems and, in severe cases, the front axle detaching. This affects 98 vehicles produced between 11 August 2025 and 01 December 2025 in the Republic of Ireland.

Another recall pertains to heavy-duty battery-electric trucks with gearbox-mounted power take-off, where there is a risk of unexpected acceleration. Although the brakes function normally, this could pose a significant safety risk. This recall affects 54 vehicles manufactured between 12 September 2022 and 07 September 2025.

Additionally, certain FLE and FEE commercial vehicles are being recalled due to a potential issue where the truck might unintentionally decelerate and stop if the drive/reverse switch is used excessively. Drivers will receive yellow warnings before this issue occurs, indicating they should seek workshop assistance. This recall impacts 9 vehicles produced between 07 September 2020 and 03 March 2025.

Customers who believe their vehicle may be affected are encouraged to contact their nearest Volvo Truck dealer for further assistance. Volvo Group UK Limited will also reach out directly to affected customers to arrange appointments for necessary repairs.
